# [[111_20221126 Demise of the treachery demon]] ## Session Summary > [!tldr] [[111_20221126 Demise of the treachery demon]] > It's been six months after the last game, and the party has been busy. We sorted out the issues with Neverember and Sabine, and have installed Ka'ira as the rightful Alagondar queen. Xio united the Nashers and the Graycloaks under the name The Kraken Cloaks of Alagondar and her leadership. Maestro rallied the knights of Helm's Hold and got them to participate in our two-pronged attack. > > The knights attacked Galvanoth in The Unending Woe and forced him to use his 1-mile *Dimension Door* to escape to his lair, a ziggurat in The Shadowfell that Reona had told us about. Unbeknownst to him, we (the Order of the Wandering Mind) were poised just outside the lair, ready to finish him off. ^summary --- ## Recap ![[110_20220213 Sarthos is Free#^summary]] --- ## Log The Lair was hard to find-- it was in the Shadowfell! The person who gave us this information was Reona. She was able to follow the necromancer in Neverwinter into dark passageways that led to [[Galvanoth the Plaguemaker]]'s secret lair. [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/The Order of the Gilded Eye]] of [[Helm's Hold]], along with Krieger, have engaged Galvanoth in the Material Plane, near [[The Unending Woe]], where we found Vierlene. During that battle, the knights of Helm's Hold forced Galvanoth to retreat and use his only Dimension Door to retreat to his sanctum, where the remaining monks of the [[The Order of the Ebon Hand]] have just dispatched a [[Hezrou]], a toad demon that was the cause of the corruption of the [[Neverwinter River]]. We asked our allies to trap us in his lair with Galvanoth. We can't escape--- but neither can he! Maestro went into The Unending Woe to retrieve Tyson's corpse. He got the corpse but found out it was an illusion, and not Tyson's corpse at all. He did find out how to split the good side of Vierlene from the demon she'd been turned into. Ka'ira is by now the Queen of Neverwinter. She somehow was able to deal with Neverember and Sabine. I am the defacto leader of [[Sons of Alagondar]]. I tracked down [[Analects of Vondelak]]. It's still a mystery to me who killed [[Kelsier]]-- Neverember's faction didn't claim that murder. [[Vierlene]] is here mostly for revenge on Galvanoth for being turned into a [[Dregloth]]. She has recovered her light magic, but it's no longer divine magic. She wants to make sure Galvanoth dies permanently so that he can no longer do that to her again.
